Leading private label coffee roaster Lincoln & York has been awarded the British Retail Consortium newly introduced superior rating – Grade AA
The BRC is an internationally recognised safety and quality certification programme. Lincoln & York has been Grade A accredited for over 12 years. This year’s audit followed several changes to BRC’s inspection criteria including the introduction of the ‘AA Grade’, which is now awarded to superior facilities.
Jeff Kidd, Factory Manager at Lincoln & York, told PV: “We’re delighted to have been awarded the Grade AA accreditation by the BRC, following a rigorous two-day audit. With the criteria changes involved in Version 7, the Lincoln & York team had to work hard to ensure all areas of the business exceeded the BRC’s already high expectations. We were very proud to receive such positive feedback.”
